Angled crane calculator

Challenge

Design a position calculator for an excavator with an angled stick and rotating placement tool. The system will be used for underwater applications.

What we did

Using our machine guidance products, we could start from off the shelve available hardware. Our SAE1 inclination sensor and ENC1 quadrature converter can provide all needed measurements for this setup.

We delivered the hardware, calculation software and calibration routines to provide a high accuracy real time positioning system that interfaces with existing visualization software.
